Who does this really hurt? You need an ID to drive, passing the driver's license test is relatively easy. I think older people who no longer drive are affected. Sure they can get ID cards vs a driver's license, but they normally don't need it, they would have to go into the DMV to get it. I realize the GOP thinks this could help them but I'm betting this could actually hurt them, older people would tend to favor McCain.

You do not need to drive to the polling station. Passing the driver's license test is only easy if you can see. The blind are still citizens, and should not have their voting rights denied simply because they cannot drive. There are costs associated with obtaining state-authorized photo ID. The additional costs associated with the now-required ID amount to a poll tax.
